Sad Girl delves into the intricate interplay between systems of power and expressions of identity. Her work challenges viewers to contemplate the intersection of these concepts, prompting them to engage in critical self-reflection. While embracing a sad girl archetype, she questions the commodification of femme sadness in modern capitalistic societies, exposing the contradictions inherent in valuing solipsistic sadness as a remedy for misogyny in Western civilization.
Employing her body as medium through video, sculpture, and performance, she confronts corporeality as a symbol of lineage to underscore history's complexities and its relevance in current discourse. By investigating oppressive systems and figures in power, she illuminates the enduring and overbearing resonance of historical legacies, urging us to confront them anew in light of our socio-political landscape.
